Air Freight Services
As the fastest mode of transport, airfreight is sometimes indispensable when it comes to keeping a production line running or meeting time-sensitive project schedules. Airfreighting high-value inventory items may be the most cost-effective mode, as it will allow for a reduction in inventory holding. Airfreight offers short transit times and reliable scheduled arrivals, even when there is a need for transshipment.

Airfreight Benefits
If you’ve ever needed cargo to get you out of an emergency, you’ll appreciate the true value of airfreight. Consider the benefits;
- Speed – most airfreight companies won’t offer airfreight lead times of less than seven days. Yet, airfreight cargos usually take around five days from pickup to delivery.
- Reduced inventory carrying costs – many companies prefer to airfreight high-value and perishable goods because carrying costs like insurance and damages offset the higher transportation
- Reliability – Airfreight is the most reliable of transportation modes
- Access to underdeveloped markets – Quickly get cargo to areas in underdeveloped, inaccessible places.
Airfreight Options
Choose from several options depending on the level of urgency
- Next FlightOut – the quickest and typically the costliest option. If you choose this option, your cargo will leave on the next flight out.
- Deferred – the least expensive option, but it is also the least reliable and slowest as the freight forwarder can bump your goods onto the next flight.
- Consolidated Cargo – is cheaper because your cargo is combined with other shipments for preferential rates. You will need a well-connected cargo carrier with a significant client base to ensure the regular departure of consolidated cargo.
- Charter Plane – the most expensive option, a chartered plane is one you hire and is dedicated to your cargo.
